Territorial intelligence is preparing for the return of the mobilization against the pension reform next Tuesday, March 7. According to a note consulted by BFMTV, between 1.1 and 1.4 million protesters are expected throughout France, while 320 actions are announced.
In Paris, the participants will be between 60,000 and 90,000 according to territorial intelligence, including 400 to 800 and yellow vests, as well as 300 to 500 radical elements. The other main processions will be in Nantes (32,500), Toulouse and Lyon (30,000), as well as in Rennes, Marseille, Grenoble, Clermont-Ferrand (20,000).
Lots of outages planned
The intelligence services especially monitor the “ultra-left” which “intends to continue the radical dynamic already observed by trying to take the leadership of the demonstrations and placing itself at the head of the procession.” The far-right is also affected by the note, although “the issue of pensions is not a priority for her.”
In addition to the event, many riots are expected, be it in public transport, household waste collection and schools. The mobilization occurs when the unions have been calling for several weeks to “paralyze France.”
The previous mobilizations, which began in January, managed to gather between 1,272 and 2.8 million protesters according to the sources. The unions hope to keep up the pressure on the government with rolling strikes, which will begin on March 7. A strategy that aims to “overthrow the reform”, according to Philippe Martínez, who spoke this Thursday night.
